Organize your notes with tags and pins on iCloud.com

You can use tags as a fast and flexible way to categorize and organize your notes. You can add one or more tags to a note, such as #shopping and #work, and easily filter your notes across folders using the Tag Browser.

On a computer, you can also pin your most important notes to the top of the notes list for easy access.

Add tags to notes

You can type a tag anywhere in a note. Tags must be a single word, but you can use hyphens and underscores (for example, #meeting-minutes or #important_documents).

Go to icloud.com/notes, then sign in to your Apple Account (if necessary).
Select a note.
If you’re on a phone or tablet and you don’t see your notes, make sure the notes list is open.
Type the number sign (#), then type a word—for example, #meeting or #important—or choose from the list of suggested tags. (Suggested tags appear if you already added tags in Notes.)
Tags you add appear in the Tag Browser in the sidebar.

If you add a tag to a shared note, it appears as dimmed text to other participants who don’t have the tag in their Tag Browser.

View notes with tags

Go to icloud.com/notes, then sign in to your Apple Account (if necessary).
To see a list of notes that contain a tag, select the tag in the Tag Browser in the sidebar or folder list.
If you’re on a phone or tablet and you don’t see the folder list, make sure the folder list is open.
You can select multiple tags to see a list of notes that contain those tags.

Pin notes

You need to be on a computer to pin notes.

Go to icloud.com/notes, then sign in to your Apple Account (if necessary).
Control-click (on a Mac) or right-click (on a Windows device) the note you want to pin, then choose Pin Note.

To unpin a note, Control-click (on a Mac) or right-click (on a Windows device) the note you want to unpin, then choose Unpin Note.
